Hi, I also agree about disabling auto-start after installation.
But by the way, are we talking only about auto-starting after first installation or also after upgrade ? Under Solaris 10, autostart_daemons=no will only prevent daemons from auto-starting at first installation. After, the previous state of the daemon will be restored no matter what is the value of autostart_daemons. I personnally like this behaviour (and in fact proposed the patch for it): after I correctly configured a service, I prefer it to be automatically restarted on upgrade, but I put the subject on the table so we're sure to agree on the same thing.

I've set on all my machines the autostart to "no" and as most admins, I don't like services starting automatically. Most package repositories are working this way. Our target are not the end-users. Our users are admins and even those who using the first time Solaris and OpenCSW can handle services, that do not start automatically.
